SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps automate the provisioning and ongoing management of OpenWRT routers and gateways using the harley.openwrt Ansible collection, reducing manual configuration and drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Network provisioning: WAN/LAN settings, VLANs, and WiFi radio configuration using OpenWRT's UCI templates.
  • DHCP/DNS and DNS records management: configures dnsmasq, static leases, and CNAME records for dynamic environments.
  • VPN integration: sets up IPsec VPN and manages firewall zones to enable site-to-site and remote access scenarios.
  • LuCI HTTPS UI: deploys and secures the LuCI web interface, including optional certificate handling.
  • Use cases include fresh router deployment, site-to-site VPN, remote gateway maintenance, and inventory-driven network config generation.

Quick Start
